Thanks for your visit. You're right, once you focus on yourself and feel a little secure about being OK no matter what, you do tend to let go more. You even get thoughts questioning whether you REALLY want the WAS back, ha ha.
So, H and I spoke on the phone about D's report last evening. It was much better than her last one, but the question of her very weak spelling came up again, as it lets her down in all her subjects, ultimately. I was saying once again how we needed to do some remedial work with her. H as usual said how with D being at school for eight hours every weekday, it should really be the responsibility of the teachers blah blah blah, but at the end he did admit (without prompting from me ) that when D was with him at weekends he tended to want to do only fun things, but he promised he would do some work with her on spelling in the future.
H also mentioned needing to get an early night as the previous night he hadn't been able to sleep. I am fortunate in that recently I have been going to bed at a reasonable time most days AND sleeping like a log.
At one point, H said, oh, guess what? You know we were talking about Groundhog Day? Well, guess what I found and bought in the local shop today? Groundhog Day! (I've never seen this film and had been asking him to bring this DVD down, but he told me that it belonged to a friend, it wasn't his).
So, without thinking, I piped up, oh is it a present for me? And H replied, er no, it isn't, it's for me....
Oooops, that's what happens when you speak without thinking and have even a teeny tiny expectation! So I recovered from that gaff and we carried on talking about the film, and I did notice H saying later, well, I will probably leave the film there with you anyway as I've seen it a number of times.
As for Valentine's day on Monday, H's plan is to stay till Monday morning. I don't think he will be too conscious about what day it is, as even during our M he didn't take note of such stuff. Luckily I have friends coming over on Monday evening to cook together and on Tuesday a friend and I are taking the kids out from school for lunch together.
I presume any kind of card at this point would be a complete no no no no no no no no no no no?
Ellie, please note, I have laid in some bottles of white wine for H this weekend, as he mentioned that red wine gave him some funny symptons - like the next day he would feel he been talking nonsense all the previous evening, which he says is not true, it is just the effect of the wine...
Have a good weekend everybody!
